I'm opening this issue because:

• npm is crashing.
• npm is producing an incorrect install.
• npm is doing something I don't understand.
• Other (see below for feature requests):

What's going wrong?

How can the CLI team reproduce the problem?

supporting information:

• npm -v prints:
• node -v prints:
• npm config get registry prints:
• Windows, OS X/macOS, or Linux?:
• Network issues:
  • Geographic location where npm was run:
  • I use a proxy to connect to the npm registry.
  • I use a proxy to connect to the web.
  • I use a proxy when downloading Git repos.
  • I access the npm registry via a VPN
  • I don't use a proxy, but have limited or unreliable internet access.
• Container:
  • I develop using Vagrant on Windows.
  • I develop using Vagrant on OS X or Linux.
  • I develop / deploy using Docker.
  • I deploy to a PaaS (Triton, Heroku).

Did you make sure to build nodejs with crypto?

[subbuchaudhary]

@legodude17 what does it meant by?
I did not get you?

[subbuchaudhary]

@legodude17
i tried
$npm install crypto-js
it also gave same error

[legodude17]

If you don't understand, it is fine. How did you install nodejs and npm?

[subbuchaudhary]

@legodude17
I simply downloaded nodev5.7.1.pkg file from nodejs.org and installed it. then i set the npm permissions as shown in npm documentation web site.
